Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fresh strawberries
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Coconut sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or non-fat)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Almond milk (or any milk alternative)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Chop them into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This will be your dry mixture.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut sugar, unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, and egg. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract and almond milk to the wet mixture and whisk until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it’s okay if the batter looks slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Fold the chopped strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
